What Challenges Remain in Utilizing Water in Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, there are challenges in fully exploiting water in catalysis. One major challenge is developing catalysts that are stable and active in aqueous environments. Another is understanding the complex interactions between water, catalysts, and reactants at a molecular level. Additionally, efficient separation and purification of products from aqueous systems remain a technical hurdle. Addressing these challenges requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
